hello~~ I just noticed how amazing your watercolor skills are!! You're really good!!
I know i might seem completly random, but i have been trying to practice with water color and wondered if you could help me.
I'm always struggling with keeping my paper neat and the color always seems to be running all over the place for me. x-x I wonder how you keep your strokes so neat and not so messy?
Dont mean to be a bother, just saw your beautiful art and needed advise!

I really don't know, it depends :/ I'd say about 2/3hours if the hair isn't too detailled.

This is really helpful and inspiring! I did a bunch of stuff like this during my year 12 art major work....I found that idea for using salt and drips when we went to an art show, although I havne't uploaded any of that to dA

Génial ! Merci pour les explications, qui sont très bien, je te rassure ! J'aurais jamais pensé utiliser une brosse à dents, ni du sel !
Je vais faire des ptits tests dans un avenir proche !!

Awesome! But you don't necessarily need liquid watercolor- just water + tube/solid watercolor + salt and other things are okay
